We have just bought a Honda FRV and I'm having a nightmare fitting the car seat (a silver cross ventura seat). The seat belt is really tight to start with and I have to tilt the car seat up to get the belt round the back of it but on top of that the seat belt keeps locking and everytime I try to fit it I want to scream . Does anyone else have one? What type of car seat did you use? How did you stop the seat belt from constantly locking when you're trying to pull it out. Please help!!!

Do you know if you can get the isofix base for the silvr cross ventura? if you can that would solve the problem. If not I might need to buy a new car seat but the one I've got goes on to my pram chasis

we have a really old volvo and have trouble with seat bealts going over any backward facing car seat as the seat belts are so short compared to these days. but with my seat pulled as far forward as possible it just fits and seat belt just clicks in at the back.

thankfully we are getting a stay in the car seat as soon as we get some spare money.

It was quite silly of us to change our car just after Alexandra was born. We had a Renault Scenic before and the car seat fitted perfectly. I think I'll buy an isofix car seat. It's disappointing because the silver cross one is so cosy and Alexandra looks so comfy in it.

We have an accord, and the belt is the same. Ended up having a hissy fit and throwing my phone on the floor in a temper, all cuz i couldn't get Leah's seat in the other day. Oh and it was in morrisons car park so maximum embarrasment.

I work at a baby shop and we're a Britax Excellence Center and tbh, it sounds like the seat is incompatible with your new car. We wouldn't pass it by your description, we'd find another one.
The britax isofix seat looks ok for your car, as does the Rock-a-Tot according to their fit finder.
The Ventura takes quite a bit of seatbelt and we do have probs getting it into certain cars.
I've attached a link to the Britax store finder. Try to find an Excellence Center nearby, then you won't get a fitting by the trainee or saturday girl like some places. http://www.britax.co.uk/index.php?optio ... &Itemid=66
